My Little Pony: Ren's Adventures In Equestria

by MaxTV1234

Chapter 13 - Winter Wrap-Up

A few weeks past since that party, and Twilight gave me a lecture and told me that she forgot to mention that dogs here don't die from eating chocolate or fudge. I was shocked, and yet amazed to here that. It's almost like Equestria is a paradise where death doesn't exist, and I'm starting to like this place.

I was sleeping peacefully with Kodiak sleeping on my bed with me when all of a sudden, a loud and rapid knocking noise startled me out of bed. In fact, it made me fall out of bed.

"R-Ren....." Kodi soon started to wake up and saw me fall off my bed. "Why are you sleeping on the floor?"

I rubbed my head and got up slowly, hearing the door knock again. "Oh good grief...." I exhaled a heavy breath and went over to put on my clothes. I was wearing those new pajamas Rarity gave to me few weeks ago, and I have to say, I like the way how she makes them. Since it was getting cold outside and it snowed last night, I had put on my orange coat, a blue scarf to cover both my nose and mouth, and a blue hat over my head to keep my hair from getting frostbite.

Kodi let out a yawn and noticed that I was putting on my coat. "Um, what are you doing?" He asked.

"Somebody knocked on my door, so I'm wearing this because its like freezing cold outside, besides, I do like to see what Ponyville looks like in the snow." I replied as soon as I got my mittens on. Soon afterwards, I got Kodiak to put on a scarf and finally, we headed towards and open it, revealing Twilight, who was smiling brightly and excitedly. I could even see Spike asleep on her back.

"Twilight, what is it?" I asked confusedly.

"Hi, Ren, Kodi! Guess what day it is?!" Twilight asked excitedly. I looked beside her and saw how much snow outside there was.

"Umm.....a snow day?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"No, it's Winter Wrap Up Day!" She responded, still smiling brightly and excitedly.

"Winter what day?"

"I've...don't think I've heard of that before." Kodi added, not hearing about that holiday. "I know that I've been in some parts in Equestria but I've never seen or heard about Winter Wrap-Up Day."

"Well then, c'mon!" She grabbed my hand and started pulling me, with Kodi following after us. "They're starting to pick teams, let's go!"

"O-okay Twilight, don't have to drag me all the way!" I said as I nearly tripped, besides teams? What is this Winter Wrap-up day? Some kind of sporting event or something?

We soon arrived to Ponyville, where everypony were gathered in town. I then noticed everypony wearing different colored vests, one was green, the other was blue, and the other I think its tan.

"So Twilight, how does this work?" I asked curiously, but the look on Twilight's face tells me that she was so excited about that her legs shifted in place hastily.

"H-huh? Oh sorry Ren, what was it?" Twilight asked, not hearing what I said.

"He asked about how does Winter Wrap-Up day works?" Kodi asked, repeating the question I asked her.

"Oh, you see, every winter in Equestria..." Twilight began her explanation. "All three pony tribes work together to set up spring." Oh right, because Ponies here can control weather, or so I was told. "So Winter Wrap-Up's split into three teams." Twilight then pointed to the team with the green vest, where Applejack was. "Applejack's team is the planting team, their job is to plant new crop." Next Twilight pointed to the blue vest team, where Rainbow Dash was at too. "Rainbow's Team is the weather team, where they have to blow off all the snow and help water the crops to make them grow." And finally, she pointed at the tan team, where Fluttershy was at. "And finally, the animal team where they have to wake the animals up from hibernation so that they can get up for spring."

"I see...." I said, fully understanding the situation, but there was one thing in my mind. "Hey wait, fall just ended, and winter just started, but now we're just about to start Spring? How did that happen?"

"Huh? W-what are you talking about R-ren?" Spike asked, sleepily. You know what? Never mind, I'll think about that later. Can't understand the logic here in this world.

"I think maybe this might fun." Kodi said, wagging his tail happily.

"Yeah but...I wonder which team vest I'll be wearing?" Twilight asked, looking around the place.

"I'll take a blue vest, same color as my blanket." Spike spoke, still sleepy from his nap. "Which I think I hear calling my name. 'Spike! Spike! Come to bed!' Ugh, it's too early." Looks like someone woke up from the wrong side of the bed.

"Thank you everypony, for being here bright and early!" We turned around to see Mayor Mare making an announcement. "We need every single pony's help to wrap up winter, and bring in spring!"

The whole crowd of ponies cheered loudly, exciting for this Winter Wrap-Up to begin.

"Now, all of you have your vests, and have been assigned to your teams, so let's do even better than last year, and have the quickest Winter Wrap Up ever!"

Well I don't have a vest, and so does Twilight, Spike, and Kodiak. But I'll see and check around the place on how they do it, just to be careful that I don't screw things up.

"Oh, this is so exciting!" Twilight said, still in her bright and positive attitude.

"Well me too, I do want to see how everypony here how they 'wrap up' winter." I shrugged while smiling.

"Alright everypony, find your team leader, and let's get galloping!" Mayor Mare pointed to a field, where Rainbow Dash and the others headed towards the field to begin their work.

"Oh wow, they're sure pumped up." Kodi said, surprised to see how enthusiastic everypony are.

"Oh gosh, where should I go?" Twilight asked, looking around.

"You...didn't get assigned for any of the teams, Twilight?" I asked curiously.

Twilight shook her head and said "No because I wasn't so sure to where I would fit in. What exactly does everypny do?" Twilight asked, feeling worried. Me and Kodi looked at each other, before smiling at each other.

"Well don't worry Twilight, we'll help ya!" I exclaimed, much to Twilight's joy.

"Really?!"

"Hmm-mm! We may not know so much about Winter Wrap-Up, but we'll help you!" Kodi added, agreeing to help Twilight.

"Yeah, besides, I am curious about Winter Wrap-Up, so we'll help you." I added, giving her a thumbs up.

Twilight smiled softly at us and said "Thank you guys. Now come on, let's get started!" Soon, we started to head out to meet up with the other teams. Soon after, everypony started singing about their Winter Wrap-Up.

Soon after that whole song was finished, I saw Twilight, feeling undecided on where she should go to.

"Everypony belongs to a team." She said as she looked over to me and Kodi. "What should I do? Where should I go?"

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find the right team!" Kodi said in determination.

"Yeah, you just need to find which group will work out with your skills, and you'll be part of that." I added, much to Twilight's relief. While we decided to help out in Winter Wrap-Up and also to help find Twilight her place. One thing crossed in my mind.

"Where did that music come from anyway?" I muttered.

"Alright team, you're clear for takeoff!" We looked up to see Rainbow Dash, ordering her team to clear more skies.

"Hey, why not Rainbow Dash? Maybe she could help you?" I suggested.

"Yeah, maybe..." Twilight thought. "Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow Dash heard Twilight calling her and flew down to us.

"Oh hey Twilight, Ren, Kodi, what's up?" Rainbow asked.

"What are you doing?" Kodi asked, curiously.

"Sending off one of my flight crews to retrieve the birds that have flown south for the winter." Rainbow replied. Oh yeah, every winter, birds fly to the south until they come back to the north when its spring time.

"Oh, can I help?" Twilight asked. "How about if I help clear out the clouds?"

"Yeah, and I can use my hoverboard so that I can fly, just to let you know if that's gonna be a problem." I added with a smile.

"Um, Ren, only Pegasus ponies have the ability to touch clouds and Twilight can't help because she doesn't have any wings." Rainbow replied, flapping her wings, implying that we can't help out.

"Right...no wings..." Twilight muttered sadly.

"Sorry guys." Rainbow said before she sped away towards her teammates.

"Oh man..." Kodi said sadly. I petted his head and said "Don't worry buddy, I'm sure we can find someone that will allow us to help." Kodi smiled softly at me for cheering him up.

"Great, no what do we do?" Twilight asked, getting impatient.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna be napping." Spike responded over at a bush where he began snoring at.

Twilight pressed a hood at his cheek and looked at him with a serious expression. "Come on Spike, this is serious business. Winter needs to be wrapped up, and I'm determined to do my part. Somehow..."

"Twilight..." I called out to her. She looked over to me in confusion. "Maybe you don't need to be in a team, I understand that this is your first Winter Wrap-Up in Ponyville, but maybe you can do something any other pony can't do?" I suggested.

"But that's just it Ren...I don't know what it is.." Twilight admitted, sadly.

"Well we're hundred percent sure that you'll find out soon Twilight. I mean, you're amazing reader and good organizing skills...maybe one of those can help out."

"Ren's right, and that's why we're gonna help you!" Kodi exclaimed in determination.

"Thanks Ren and Kodi." Twilight said, smiling at us. "Well, what are we going to do though?"

"Well why don't we go visit our friends and see if we can do what they can do?" I offered.

"Hmm....sounds like a good idea." Twilight shrugged as we began to head out to meet up with our friends.

We decided to head up to Rarity first as we saw her making some bird nests, which I found odd since birds are the ones who make nests.

"Oh hello Ren, Twilight, Kodi, and Spikey-wikey." Rarity greeted us. "What's brings you four here?"

"We're just here to see if we can find some way to see if we can help out in WInter Wrap-Up?" I asked politely.

Well, would you four like to try your hoof at a nest?" Rarity asked. I was about to respond until Twilight cut me off.

"Would we?!" Twilight said excitedly. "Yes! Where do we begin?"

"Wait..." I stop them. "Um, no offense Rarity, but shouldn't birds make them themselves? Because that's how it works in my world." I said, much to their confusion.

Rarity then started to laugh and said "Oh Ren, that's silly! Maybe from your world, but not for us."

"Um....Okay, so how do you make one?" I asked.

"Okay now..." Rarity began her explanation by levitating a basket of hay, twigs, and ribbons over to my and Twilight's side of the table. "Take some of that straw and hay over there, and a little bit of branch..." I gestured Kodi to bring some of the material to me, which he understood. Once he brought them to me, I started to make it carefully and neatly.

Twilight had already neatly separated the components as Rarity went on. "Now weave them through there, es. Uh, take some ribbon, yes, oh uh, n....not there Twilight, oooh, yes, uh, tuck it in over there, uh but be careful not to...I don't know, I guess that would do...oh dear."

After we were finish, me and Rarity looked over and winced a bit at the 'nest' Twilight had fabricated. Not that I'll admit but, it looks like something you'll puke out.

"There! It looks just like..." Twilight's enthusiasm deflated when she saw the difference between hers and Rarity's. "Yours. Oh my."

"That nest needs to be condemned." Spike commented dryly, which Kodi nodded slowly.

"Oh, Spa-ha-hike, it's not so bad, ah, maybe birds can use it as a...." Rarity tried to find the right word as she doesn't want to hurt Twilight's feelings.

"An outhouse?" Kodi suggested.

"Kodi!" I snapped, which made the dog smile sheepishly.

"It's just fine!" Rarity exclaimed. "It's just a little rough around the edges. Let me lend you a hood. Let's just untie this ribbon, and let me take out these stick here, we'll shave this.."

I then noticed Twilight sulked as Rarity continued to fix the nest Twilight made.

"I think we lost her." Spike whispered, which Kodi nodded in agreement. Soon, Twilight started to walk away, sadly.

"Twilight..." I muttered in sadness.

"I'm so sorry Ren!" Rarity apologized. "I didn't mean to hurt her feelings! I was just trying to help her fix her nest!" I let out a sigh and made a sad smile.

"It's okay Rarity, I mean, this is her first time, and so is mine. I mean, my nest can't be that good." I said nervously, looking over my nest, which made Rarity gasp in shock. Apparently, it looked perfectly the same way as Rarity's.

"Why it is so perfect! Ren, you are truly amazing, even at your first try! I say, it's look good, no wait, better yet...fabulous!" Rarity exclaimed in joy, causing me to blush.

"Well like I said before, I'm good at Art, but never showed it before." I said nervously. Alright, enough talk, I better go after Twilight. "Anyway, we gotta go after Twilight, bye!"

"Wait, we?" Spike asked as I grabbed Spike and Kodi running after me.

"Bye Ren! Bye Kodiak! Bye Spikey-Wikey! See you later!" Rarity called out as we began to find where Twilight was.

We looked around to find her until I heard a-

"WHEEEEEE!"

Me, Kodi, and Spike turned around to see Pinkie Pie ice-skating around the frozen pond, with Twilight watching in amazement.

"Oh there she is!" Kodi said, happy to finally found her.

"Yeah..." I said as we watched over to see Pinkie giving some Ice-skates to Twilight.

"Hey, Twilight, wanna help me out?" Pinkie asked.

"Would I?!" Twilight gasped happily.

"Come on, put on those skates I got." Pinkie said as Twilight finally put on her skates. "I bet you'll be a natural too!"

"Okay!" Twilight said as she took the skates and put them on. But as soon as she stepped out onto the ice, she immediately knew she was no natural, particularly because she'd never ice-skated before. I mean, maybe she'd read about ice-skating, but of course she never done that in real life.

"Yaaaaay!" Pinkie cheered as she zoomed across the ice.

"Twilight!" I called out to her, gaining her attention. "Sorry about what happen back at Rarity's, I didn't mean-"

"It's okay Ren, it wasn't your fault." Twilight assured. "Besides, it was just one time, and maybe I can help out with Pinkie...but.." Twilight was having second doubts about herself as we saw Pinkie skating around in joy like it was nothing. "Uh....maybe on second thought-" Twilight didn't finish her sentence as she fell down, due to the ice skates she was wearing.

"What are you talking about?" Spike asked, still a little sore about being woken up early for nothing and being woken up shortly after that false-start. "You said you wanted to be helpful."

"Yippie!" Pinkie cried happily as she made a graceful leap. Wow, somepony out there, sign this mare for the winter Olympics because she might win the gold for ice-skating!

"Yeah Twilight, we know you can do it!" Kodi encouraged her.

"Yeah, you heard Kodi! Now get out there!" Spike insisted, pushing Twilight out into the ice.

"Oh no, whoa, wow..." Twilight scurried to gain control but her lack of experience saw fit to defy her will, and Spike couldn't help a feeling a guilty delight in watching Twilight's ice-capade.

"Um..Spike, are you sure about this?" I asked in concern.

"Pfft!" Spike said, rolling his eyes. "Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be fine!"

"Twilight, steer! Steer!" Pinkie called to her.

"Yaaaaa!" Twilight cried as she came at Pinkie.

"Oh boy..." Pinkie muttered as she was crashed into Twilight, as the two screamed and are about to...

"Oh no..." I muttered as I realized where they're gonna crash, and that's us. Once they crashed into us, the five of us were screaming as we made it into the snowbank, the five of us covered in a snowball, making a tall snowman-figure. We shook the snow off, as Spike and Kodi started to laugh.

"Ha ha, you are a natural, Twilight. A natural disaster!" Spike laughed, causing me to glare at him for making fun of Twilight.

"That was awesome! Let's do it again!" Kodi added.

I noticed Twilight feeling bad that she messed up again. Pinkie soon got out of the snow and turned to us.

"Twilight, you did a great job your first time around. I'm sure my first time was just as wobbly and bobbly and crasheriffic as yours."

"Really?" Twilight asked with a hopeful smile.

Pinkie thought for a minute before flatly replying "No."

Spike and Kodi chuckled some more, Twilight sulking, and I face-palmed upon that statement.

"But did I make you feel better?" Pinkie asked, in a cheery smile.

"Mm-hmm, yeah, I guess.." Twilight muttered.

"Not that much..." I added, shaking my head at her. Well, Pinkie didn't help much, no offense to her.

"Cheer up Twilight, there has to be somepony that will admire your talents." I assured while we walk in hopes in finding somepony to accept Twilight in helping her around Winter Wrap-Up.

"Yeah but...just who?" Twilight asked.

"Hey, isn't that Fluttershy?" Kodi asked, pointing towards Fluttershy, who was near some cave.

"Yeah, it is. Wonder what's she doing?" I asked curiously. We all walked towards her as I said "Hey Fluttershy."

"Ooh!" Fluttershy was startle and accidentally tripped, falling back. I hurried over and caught her before she fell onto her back. She squealed a little in embarrassment as I helped onto her hooves.

"Hey, you okay Flutters?" I asked.

"Y-yes, I'm fine." Fluttershy as she got up and dust off herself. "Thank you." I nodded as Twilight, Spike, and Kodi walk over to us.

"Hey Fluttershy, what are you doing?" Kodi asked curiously.

"Look...!" She pointed towards the hole and we felt heart-warm as a Badger and her three little baby ones yawned as they ambled out and made their towards the meadow.

"Aw, I didn't know that baby badgers could look so adorable." I commented. If they become any more cuter than Kodi, no offense to him, I'll scoop it up and give it a hug.

"Hey!" Kodi said, glaring at me, causing me to chuckle sheepishly.

"But not as cute as you Kodiak." I said, petting his fur, causing to be happy again.

"Well, aren't they though Ren?" Fluttershy said softly as she gazes at the badgers. "I love no task more than this in the whole season." Fluttershy sighed, feeling like a mother. "To see all my little animal friends again. I look through each warren and den to wake up all the little hibernating critters."

"That sounds like fun." I chuckled as I turned to Twilight. "So Twilight, why not give it a try?"

"Would I?" She sure like to say that every time when we try something new, eh?

"Oh but just look at all these warrens and dens." Fluttershy sighed at the work ahead of us. "I'm worried that I won't be able to wake up every animal before spring comes."

"Well, we'll help, right Ren and Kodi?" Twilight asked hopefully.

"You bet!" I said, nodding my head.

"Yeah, we'll totally help!" Kodi added.

"Oh you will? That would be wonderful." Fluttershy thanked us, as she gave Spike and Kodi two little bells.

"Okay, I'll start over here." Twilight decided as she and Spike approached one of the warren.

"Alright, we'll start over there." I said as me and Kodi headed over to the other warren. Kodi shook the bell gently to make it ringing. "Hello? Wake up, little friends, wherever you are. Spring is coming!"

We stepped back, ringing the bell again as we got excited. Just then, a batch of baby bunnies came coming out, and just the sight of them, made me go 'Awww' at them. Just then, Twilight let out a scream.

"Snakes?! Snakes!" We turned around to see Twilight backing away from the baby snakes, not noticing that she had backed into a small cave, from which she ran out screaming from a swoop of bats. Her terror distracted her from a tree, into which she ran face-first, shaking it and causing a hive of bees to fall onto her head, filling her with blind-fear in a both literal and emotional sense, causing her unknowingly into another cave, from which came out a family of skunks.

"Good morning, friends." Fluttershy said warmly to them.

"You know, those skunks are kinda cute when they aren't spraying you with their stink." I replied with a soft smile before hearing a groan from the cave. "Speaking of stink..."

Twilight soon came out, but we all flinched upon seeing the bee stings all over her face and smelled badly.

"Whoa, Twilight! You stink!" Spike announced, holding onto his nose.

"Thanks...I didn't know that..." Twilight said, sarcastically.

"Looks like you need to bathe in some tomato juice, Twilight. That way that stench will go away." I advised.

Twilight sighed and said "I know..." Oh man, she's even more disappointed and depressed than before. She began to walk off with Spike trailing behind her while he held his nose. Once she was out of sight, I let go of my nose and began to feel bad for Twilight.

"Poor Twilight..." Fluttershy said, feeling bad for Twilight.

"Yeah...hey Fluttershy, I gotta go! See ya!" I waved goodbye as me and Kodi ran off to find Twilight.

"Um...bye Ren, and Kodi." Fluttershy waved back to us.

"Where did Twilight go?" Kodi asked, looking around curiously.

"I don't know, she couldn't run off that far."" I said in concern. I really feel bad for her, I promise that I can help her find some way to help out in Winter Wrap-Up, but its only making it more worse.

"Um...Ren..." I turned to Kodi, who had his eyes widened for some reason.

"Yeah Kodi?" I asked as Kodi slowly pointed something in our direction. You have got to be kidding me right now....A giant snowball came crashing into us, and we crashed into a high ledge. But a rumbling above us made us gasp as the snow on top of the edge came crashing down and on into an avalanche.

Me and Kodi popped our heads out of the now, alongside Applejack and Twilight. Applejack was glaring angrily at Twilight as she said "Twilight! I can't believe it, you used magic! That is now how we get things round here done, Twilight, especially not on my farm!"

Twilight then started to tear up, making me feel extremely bad for her. Man, I haven't seen her like this since we got those tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala. Before we could respond, Twilight teleported off, upset and in shame.

"Twilight?" Kodi asked, looking around for her but no luck.

"Applejack, what happen?" I asked, wanting to know what upset her.

"She came to me and asked if she could plow away the snow, and I told her not to use magic because since Ponyville was discovered by Earth Ponies, we have to do this the old fashion way. But that mare used her magic and look what she did." Applejack explained.

"But all she ever wanted was to help out, besides Applejack, this is her first time. She didn't know better and now you made her cry." I said, glaring at her. Applejack realized this and let out a sigh and made a sad look.

"You're right, I'm sorry Ren. I didn't know better." Applejack admitted.

"Now what do we do?" Kodi asked in a worried tone.

"Well, I can clean up this snow with some help from my Hacking Gun." I said as I took it out from my coat.

"Hold it!" Applejack exclaimed, causing me to become confused. "I'm not sure if its such a wise idea to do that-"

"Burn!" I exclaimed as I shot 'Burn' and burn away the snow, making some room for Spring. Applejack jaw dropped upon and looked at me with a surprise expression. I smirked and said "You were saying?"

"Huh...I guess that was convenient..." Applejack said, sighing.

"Yeah, anyway, I gotta go find Twilight, bye!" I said as me and Kodi headed out to go and find her.

I don't understand, where she could be? If I was Twilight, where would I be hiding? The library maybe?

Kodi then started sniffing around until he pointed towards the bush. We walked towards it, finding a depressed Twilight.

"Twilight!" Me and Kodi exclaimed in unison. Twilight looked at us for a while before looking away.

"Hey guys..." Twilight moaned.

"Twilight, please come out of that bush." I said, feeling bad for her to be like this. "No offense, but crying and moaning in a bush isn't kinda the answer. Trust me, I know."

"...I'm such a winter mess-up..." Twilight said sadly as her ears were drooping. "I was just trying to get the job done but..."

"Ah come on, Twilight, it couldn't have been that bad!" Kodi said, trying to make her feel better.

"Gee, thanks for making me feel so much better, Kodi." Twilight said sarcastically.

"That's what I'm here for!" Twilight face-hooved upon my dog not catching the sarcasm. I let out a sigh and decided to speak with her.

“Twilight listen, you can’t give up yet. I mean, me and Kodiak haven’t join in any team, besides, we believe in you, I believe in you.” Twilight looked at me with a confused expression. “I mean, you’re the best magical unicorn I’ve ever met, well the first time actually, but that’s besides the point. What I’m trying to say Twilight, that you’re an expert when it comes to learning and such. You’re Princess Celestia’s Faithful Student, right? So you shouldn’t feel bad for yourself and you shouldn’t give up, because we all believe in you.” Twilight thought for a while before giving me a hug.

“Thank you…Ren.” Twilight said, smiling at me. I hugged her back and said “Anytime…Twilight.”

“Um…awkward.” I overheard Kodi said, with a little disgusted look. What’s his problem?

“Rainbow Dash!” Huh? What is it now? We turned around to see Applejack confronting Rainbow Dash. “You all need to melt the rest of the snow on the ground and in the trees, pronto!” Applejack exclaimed.

“Sure thing!” Rainbow replied, with a salute.

“You can’t!” Fluttershy stepped in with a worried expression. “My poor little animals homes will get flooded if the snow melts too fast!”

“Got it!” Rainbow nodded,

“I’m telling you Rainbow! The snow’s gotta go!” Applejack demanded again.

“No, you simple must wait!” Fluttershy begged.

“Go!”

“Stop!”

“Go!”

“Stop!”

“Urgh! Make up your minds!” Rainbow exclaimed, annoyed with their fighting.

“Oh, what in Equestria are you all arguing about?” Mayor Mare demanded as she stepped out of Town Hall. “It’s this kind of silliness why we’re always late for spring!” Wait what?

“Did she say ‘late’?” Twilight asked, incredulously.

“I think she did.” Kodi said in surprised.

“Wait wait, hold on!” I yelled, gaining everypony’s attention. “What do you mean always late for spring?! Just as soon as we began and started that song, we all were doing fine!”

“Well true…” Mayor Mare said. “But I was hoping my amazingly inspirational speech would urge everypony to do better this year. But it looks like we’re going to be later than ever! I mean just look at this catastrophe! The ice scorers made the ice chunks too big to melt.”

Pinkie shrugged apologetically as she looked out to the large ice chunks in the lake.

“The nest designer is horrendously behind, we need several hundred, and she’s only made one!” Rarity started bawling upon hearing that statement.

“And don’t get me started on all the clouds in the sky, the icicles on the trees…This isn’t good, not at all!” Mayor Mare complained. Me, Kodi, and Twilight looked at each other in shock. I don’t believe it, looks like Twilight wasn’t the only one who had trouble fitting in.

“And it’s all gonna be all to pieces disastrous if we can’t get all our seeds planted!” Applejack said as she glared at Rainbow.

“Chillax, Applejack, we’re busting our chops as fast as we can!”

“No, not so fast!” Fluttershy insisted politely. “We have to wake up all the animals slowly!”

“Uh, AJ?” We all looked to see Big Mac and a guilty looking pony.

“Oh good gravy, Caramel lost the grass seeds again, didn’t he?” Applejack said as she face-hooved.

“Eeyup.” Big Mac nodded, as the pony next to him looked ashamed.

“Rainbow!” One of the Pegasus ponies flew over to Dash and complained “Ditzy Doo accidentally went north to get the southern birds!” Wait, how could she messed that up?! They’re called Southern birds for a reason!

“Oh that featherbrain. Didn’t she learn her lesson last year when she went west?” Rainbow asked angrily.

All the ponies began grumbling and complaining. This is bad, if we don’t make them stop fighting and instead, work together, we will never get Spring here!

“Ren, Twilight, what do we do?” Kodi asked in concern. I thought for a while as we tried to find a way.  If we don’t act soon, springtime will never happen. If only we could be more organized.

Oh..Ooooooh! That’s it! That’s how Twilight can help with the Winter Wrap-Up! She’s great at organizing!

“Twilight, I think we found out what you can do to help Winter Wrap-Up!” I exclaimed, much to her confusin.

“R-really?” Twilight asked. I nodded as I turned to the crowd, who were still arguing.

“Stop! Everyone Stop!” I yelled but no one listen to me. I shook my head and took out my Hacking Gun and pointed it towards a nearby tree and shot ‘Break’ at it, causing it to shook and causing many icicles to fall and break, gaining everypony’s attention. “Thank you…now listen everypony, I know you all want to complete your jobs on time, but arguing is no way to go about it. What you all need is organization, and Twilight’s the pony for the job.” Twilight widened her eyes upon hearing that.

“R-Ren…do you really think that I”m up for it?“ Twilight asked in worried.

“Hey, don’t worry, we can do this together, besides, you don’t think I’m just gonna sit around and do nothing? I’m helping too!” I exclaimed in a determined expression.

“Yeah, so will I!” Kodi exclaimed in joy. Twilight thought for a while until she made a soft smile at us.

“Alright, let’s do this everypony!” Twilight exclaimed in determination. Soon, everypony cheered as they believed that Twilight was their last hope. Alright, time to get to work!

With help of Twilight’s organization skills, she had every pony follow her plan, even me and Kodiak. Big Mac and Applejack gathered the supplies for Rarity and her team to make the birds’ nest, and get them where they needed to be. I helped out by both getting the supplies and making some birds’ nest with her.

The ice-scorers worked together, cutting the ice in a grid-formation.

The planting team worked together, one pony in front to plow the snow, a second to plow the earth, and the third, which was Kodi, planted the seeds, all in line and in succession.

Fluttershy, Kodi, and I pulled a rope that had bells hung up on them, and with a shake, the bells rang at each den, waking up every critter. But when the snakes came out, we saw Twilight on top of a tree, shaking. Me and Kodi started snickering at her fear of snakes.

With that done, Rainbow was at last able to start clearing the clouds, with my help as I got my hoverboard and used ‘Break’ and ‘Move’ to clear the clouds, making way for the sunshine and before long, the snow and ice everywhere were all melting, leaking away and feeding into the lakes, rivers, and streams, all the while moistening the ground.

With the fields moistened and cleared, we were all able to work better, even as we worked into the night, making sure all the seeds were planted, and by the next morning, the weather team led home the southern birds, who all settled into the nests that had been prepared for them.

We did it…we actually did it. We got Spring to finally arrived in the perfect time.

“I can’t believe it!” We turned to Mayor Mare, who was so overjoyed as we gaze upon the completed work we done. “Spring is here! On time!” Mayor Mare then looked over at Twilight, as everypony else gathered. “And we have you to thank for it. If it weren’t for your organizing skills, we would still be arguing.”

“Eeyup!” Big Mac agreed, spurring a laugh from all of us.

“It was a team effort.” Twilight said modestly.

“And since you helped every team we have an official vest for you.” Mayor Mare said as Rarity approached, levitating a new vest as she placed it upon Twilight. “We give you the title ‘All-Team Organizer’.”

Twilight, Kodi, and I marveled at the vest, green on the chest, blue on the back, hemmed in brown, the same colors as the three teams.

“Gosh, I don’t even know what to say! Thank you, everypony!” Twilight said, happily gazing at her vest. “But I couldn’t gotten help from my friends, Ren, and his dog friend, Kodiak.” Twilight said as everyone turned to me.

“Ahh, it was nothing Twilight.” I said, rubbing my head in embarrassment. “Besides, you were the one who found out by yourself.”

“No, it was because you believed in me and kept encouraging me.” Twilight said, blushing lightly.

“Well even so, I don’t deserve most of the credit.” I said. Everypony smiled happily at me, as I smiled back at them.

“Yeah, besides, this Winter-Wrap Up was the best one ever, even for my first time!” Kodi exclaimed. I smiled softly at him and started to pet him as we gaze upon the new season of Spring.

“I hereby declare that winter is wrapped up on time!” Mayor Mare proudly announced, much to everypony’s cheers.

“You know Kodi, for our first time in Winter Wrap-Up, it was quite awesome.” I said.

“Yeah…” Kodi’s tummy started to rumble, implying that he was hungry. “Speaking of which, when are we gonna eat?” I let out a sigh and shook my head with a smirk of my face. Oh Kodiak, you silly little puppy.

“Alright, let’s go home and eat, and then we can go play around up on the hills.” I said happily, much to Kodi’s joy. But you know, it’s quite beautiful seeing the sun and the beauty of nature here in Equestria. Makes me wish that my family was here and saw this themselves. I sighed upon remembering my family. You know, I just wish there was someway for me to let them know that I’m okay and trapped in another world. I guess, I’ll just have to keep on waiting until I can find my way back home…
